Method

1

In a large bowl, toss well the chicken thighs with the cornstarch. Make sure the chicken pieces are well-coated. Set aside.

2

In a separate bowl, whisk together all ingredients for the sauce and set aside.

3

Pour vegetable oil in a large pan, just enough to reach the midpoint of it.

4

Heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once heated, add the chicken to the pan and cook until crispy and golden.

5

Then, remove the chicken from the pan. Keep one spoonful of oil and discard the rest.

6

Add the garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes to the pan, and cook for 30 seconds (until you can smell the garlic) to bring out their flavour. Stir continuously with a spatula to prevent ingredients from burning.

7

Place chicken back into the pan and toss.

8

Stir the sauce, then pour it into the pan.

9

Stir the chicken in the sauce to coat well for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until the sauce has thickened.

10

Serve immediately over a steaming bed of rice. Enjoy!
